I have improved my hair by doing these: Including more and more vitaminC in form of orange, lemon, and kiwi, 7-8 hrs of enough sleep daily, consume nuts such as walnut, peanut, almonds in limited, you can also eat fish like sardines, salmon. Exercise at least 30 mins daily. Using mild, pure shampoo, neem wooden comb, scalp massager by liitleextra coconion two times a week. This is good to control hair fall.

@@sammy_longlegs that could be a sign of lack of proteins. However, it could also just be a sign of Hydro fatigue. If you are not consistently using a pre-poo on wash day- your curls/clumping could be suffering because of that. I personally wouldn’t recommend just jumping into protein treatments unless it’s a part of an established regimen. If you are not protecting your hair from Hydro fatigue, on wash day, you will suffer more breakage and damage after a pro Tien treatment.

@@sammy_longlegs unpopular opinion, possibly… But stylists are trash. They are not hair care specialists. They know how to style your hair. And in most cases, they are styling you straight into baldness. A hair care specialist in my opinion would not tell you no oils and any stylist you ever did would never see my hair again. Regardless of if you do wash and goes often, you should be pre-pooing before each wash day. That is the opportunities for you to de-tangle your hair without damage, for you to impart nourishment into your hair and scalp, that it has been lacking since the previous pre-poo or nursing wash day. Why would you go a month to month two weeks even without nourishing your hair and scalp? And btw, you are gorgeous! I checked out your modeling pics 💕

@@sammy_longlegs That can also be a sign that you need to clarify with a shampoo that has chelating agents. It’s so many possibilities. Also, cookie is right about hair stylists only being good at styling. They don’t know much about hair science. It’s actually a lot to know/learn about hair. So, I see why all of use say so many things, but what might work for someone else might not work for you depending on your hair type and the condition of your hair which causes so much confusion in the hair industry. I’ll say try different things and see what works best for your hair and stick to it. People don’t necessarily need to prepoo it just depends on their hair and how long you go without washing your hair. For me I had to clarify with chelating to see my curls again and then I retained moisture better because my hair started to absorb products and I deep conditioned, but my curls wouldn’t stay and became frizzy. So, I did the aphogee two step protein treatment. I used that after I got rid of all build up for it to work properly. Now my hair is much better. That process took me from low porosity hair to normal/high porosity hair.
